BACKGROUND
•Concrete is a popular structure
•Easy to apply
•Has many advantages
•High Durability
Concrete Structures
•These cracks are caused by dry
shrinkage, aggregate reaction, and
alsooverload.
•Can make the reinforcing steel to
be corroded.
•If small cracks are left for longthey
will get bigger and endanger human
lives.
Cracks happened
•Sustainable Materials
•Limited Research
•Bacterial-based concrete is
better than traditional concrete
because of its environmentally
friendly nature.
